We are 52 days away from pitchers and catchers reporting to Maryvale Baseball Park, and the Milwaukee Brewers still have some work to do to shore up portions of their roster before they’ll be ready for the 2015 season. Andrew Simon of Sports on Earth listed them as one of five teams with unfinished business this offseason, noting that the first base issue has been addressed with Adam Lind but question marks remain in the bullpen.

At least one spot in the Opening Day bullpen is likely to be filled by a pitcher that failed to win a spot in the April starting rotation. Mike Fiers and Jimmy Nelson are the two arms most likely to be on the bubble, and Jim Owczarski of OnMilwaukee.com talked to Fiers about trying to earn a permanent spot on the roster.

Former BrewCrewBall editor Kyle Lobner has produced the Frosty Mug each weekday since March 2008. That’s nearly 1500 Mugs across six years, a tenure that saw the project grow from a small daily diversion to an all-encompassing look at the Brewers universe. He brought the Mug to Milwaukee Magazine prior to the 2014 Brewers season. When Kyle's not writing about the Brewers or talking about them on the radio, you’ll often find the Appleton resident at the ballpark with his wife, Laura, or out for a walk with his dachshund, Gorman.
